Arcane Lord - Vol 7 Chapter 1964
It is not difficult to surpass the elves in strength, but it is not so easy to surpass the elves mentally and spiritually.
It can be said that the reason why Netheril can appear is inseparable from the elves.
For a long time, in the eyes of most Nishites, elves have always been covered with a layer of deification. They are powerful, wise, noble, and even enlightened and excellent. All positive descriptions can be used on elves.
If this pair of positive “colored glasses” is looking at one’s own people, it is fine, but if it is looking at a potential strong competitor, it is not good.
Spiritually being a dwarf, this is not what a normal civilization should do!
Shado wants to break the deification filter of elves, and let the people know that elves are just another kind of human with different looks from them, and they are also mortals, not some perfect race.
What elves can do, humans can do too; what elves can’t do, humans can do too!
A correct understanding of the essence of elves and the relationship between humans and elves is the basis for future magical civilization to not lag behind elves in thought and spirit.
Xia Duo has been making efforts in this regard, in addition to holding various exhibitions in the territory, so that the residents can familiarize themselves with the daily life of elves.
The elves of the Silver Leaf family, who have settled in Savile Town, are often invited to the territory to participate in various activities held by the government affairs hall, in fact, they are for the people of the territory.
When the Cormansor refugees poured into the Savile Territory in the early days of the Drow War, many Savile people saw it, but the people in the Daxia Territory had not experienced those things. Although they had heard of them, they had never seen them with their own eyes. thing.
If he can bring back a group of elf refugees, and they are still the legendary golden elves, Xia Duo can almost imagine the shock of the residents.
If this kind of thing happens a few more times, coupled with the repeated publicity of the real situation of the elf society, it will be just around the corner to break the filter in the minds of the people!
…
But since Hychenis has clearly mentioned that the Severndon Council does not allow the Sluvand elves to leave Severndon, Shado temporarily rested his heart.
After all, receiving refugees involves both Sluvender and Yeerlan, which is still somewhat sensitive.
If everything goes well on Yin Orem’s side, Shado drives a floating city equipped with strategic weapons to Sluvender, and he may not be able to encounter a group of elf refugees who need shelter!
Now that there are fewer than a few, it would be more convenient to meet them by chance.
Therefore, Shado did not continue on the topic of elf refugees, and instead asked about the situation on Sluvender’s side:
“Director Hychenis, you just said that some of the Sluvand refugees on the Severndon side are real refugees, do you mean that there has been a fight there?”
“It hasn’t really started, but the army sent by Yeerlan is already taking over the city of Sluvender!” Hechenis replied.
“Can you escape under such circumstances?” Xia Duo asked again.
“From the descriptions of those refugees, we learned that the Yeerlan army did not impose restrictions on civilians, or even spellcasters. In fact, Lord Shado should have noticed that the word I just said was ‘receive’, not ‘occupy’ !”
“take over?”
If Hechenis didn’t remind him, Xia Duo really didn’t notice this detail for a while, he just thought that Yeerlan’s offensive was very smooth!
Listening to what Hechenis means now, it seems to mean that there is no resistance at all in Sluvender?
In the “received” Sluvand cities, the lives of civilians and even spellcasters are the same as in the past, except that the nationality at the top has changed.
After thinking for a while, Shado asked again: “In the judgment of Director Hechenness, can Sluvender survive this time?”
“It’s hard to say, there is still no news from the Northern Alliance. If the countries agree to Sluvender’s invitation to jointly develop the ancient fortress, it will inevitably have an impact on this war that can’t be called a war. If the countries do not If you react, Sluvender is probably going to die this time!”
Hearing this, Xia Duo frowned subconsciously. He didn’t care if Sluvender was there or not. What he cared about was the first national extermination event within the Northern Alliance, which would be a bad start.
It will make the Northland Alliance exist in name only, and the Northland will return to its original state of confrontation.
This is not a good thing for the rising Netheril, nor is it a good thing for the budding magical civilization.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn’t help but ask his own doubts: “Did Ye Erlan disregard the regulations of the Northland Alliance? What did the Seven Towers say? Is it inevitable that Comanso’s placement of Sluvender in Severnton intentionally interfered in this matter?”
“The seven towers will not make a statement for the time being, let alone take the initiative to intervene. The same is true for Dan Zuo. Only Yin Erfalang and Comanso seem to be trying to do something. I don’t know the specifics, maybe they will receive it soon. news.”
After the subpoena was over, Hechenis, who should have waited for Shado to ask further questions or end the conversation, thought about something suddenly, and then sent another message—
“By the way, Ye Erlan has already paid a large sum of super-magic fines to the Northern Alliance in advance!”
“…”
The attitudes of the other major powers in the Northern Alliance, except for the seven towers, which was somewhat unexpected by Xia Duo, were much the same as what he originally expected.
Dan Zuo is an underground dwarf country and doesn’t care much about ground affairs. Unless he hits the Underdark this time, Dan Zuo should not be biased towards either side.
Yin Erfalang and Yeerlan are close neighbors. Some time ago, a large-scale avalanche suddenly broke out in the Crest Mountains of the World to the north of Yin Erfalang, and then the crazy orcs started the orc wave in advance.
This matter has nothing to do with Ye Erlan, Xia Duo would not believe it, let alone the existence of Sluvender itself is a kind of containment to Ye Erlan.
Yin Erfalang should not let Yeerlan eliminate the surrounding hidden dangers so easily!
As for Comansor, there is still a huge Netheril separated from Yeerlan. If you really want to intervene in anything, it may be beyond your reach, but as the most powerful country in the Northern Alliance, you should not be a scumbag. hard.
And this is also in the interests of Cormanthor, at least before he unifies Listal Forest, to reduce the integration of external elf forces as much as possible.
From Komansuo’s point of view, it would be best if the outside forces were torn apart, and only after the prophecy of the only true king of the elf world would first unify the Listal Forest, and then recover the outside one by one.
As for the “Yerlan paid the super-magic fine to the Northland Alliance in advance” that Hechenness deliberately mentioned, it never appeared in Shado’s expectations.
But Ye Erlan is willing to pay the fine, at least it shows that they are still willing to respect the order of the Northern Alliance, and perhaps also want to remind the other major powers in this way—
First, this time I’m here for real, don’t interfere with me; second, I have already paid the super-magic fine, so you don’t see it, and you can play like this in the future.
As for whether the extermination of the country would violate the regulations of the Northern Alliance.
From learning that Ye Erlan was willing to pay the super-magic fine, Xardo speculated that although Ye Erlan was playing for real this time, he should still retain the name of Sluvender, just as a pure puppet.
Or a country that only exists on the relevant document!
